The National Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Iyiola Omisore, has accused the North-West Vice Chairman of the party, Salihu Lukman, of libel and demanded payment of the sum of N500million damages, in what appears to be a developing internal crisis. SaharaReporters had last week reported that Lukman said Omisore should resign because his election to the position had caused problems in the Osun chapter of the APC.
BREAKING: Crisis In APC As National Secretary, Omisore Vows To Take North-West Vice Chairman, Lukman To Court, Demands N500million DamagesSaharaReporters had last week reported that Lukman said Omisore should resign because his election to the position had caused problems in the Osun chapter of the APC.
SaharaReporters had last week reported that Lukman said Omisore should resign because his election to the position had caused problems in the Osun chapter of the APC. “Unfortunately, rather than serving as a unifying factor for the party leadership in Osun state, Sen. Omisore is more a divisive factor, which may have been responsible for why APC lost the 2022 governorship election to a political mediocre whose only qualification in politics may appear to be comic dancing skill,” Lukman had said.
The letter quoted by TheCable stated that “It is clear beyond doubt that your statement and publication was a political ploy with the intent of impugning the reputation and integrity of our client and unjustifiably and unwarrantedly assassinating his character in the eyes of right-thinking members of the public,” Oyewole said in the letter addressed to Lukman.
